WEST COVINA >> In an effort to reduce street sweeping costs, the City Council is looking to terminate the evergreen component of an agreement that a recent state audit found was unlawfully awarded by a previous administration.
At a special meeting Monday, the council voted unanimously to notify Nationwide Environmental Services of the city's intent to forgo renewal of the 15-year rolling term of the contract whose term was extended in 2012 by eight years without competitive bidding -- a process required by city code.
